You have the option of registering with us to create an account so that we may better serve your needs and enhance your experience with Poynt. Installing and/or using the Application does not require that you provide any personal information to us. However, the operation of the Application will result in your receiving offers, coupons or other information that we feel may be of interest to you, based on any stated preferences you may provide to us or on your location. To cease receiving such information, you may uninstall the Application or stop using the Application at any time. In some cases our industry partners have agreed to pre-load the Application on their mobile devices. If your mobile device has the Application pre-loaded, the Application cannot be uninstalled. However, you will not receive the above information as long as you do not utilize the Application.

Information, including personal information, is currently stored on our secure servers located in Calgary, Canada. We provide some of your personal information to our service providers to process payments for any offers and coupons you purchase through the Application. In the event that we begin to use service providers outside Canada to process or collect, use or disclose personal information about an individual on our behalf, we will notify you about such service providers outside of Canada. We will also notify you of the way in which you may obtain access to written information about our policies and practices with respect to service providers outside of Canada and the name or title of a person who can answer any questions about the collection, use, disclosure or storage of personal information by any service providers outside Canada.

Access to Personal Information Management Tools
Through the standard use of the Application and the services, we request access to certain Personal Information Management (PIM) tools on your device, including but not limited to your contacts, e-mail and calendar, in order to, upon your request, add entries to your device, such as business listings to your contacts and appointments to your calendar. We will not access your PIM tools nor any of the information contained therein for any other purposes.

Security
We recognize our legal obligations to protect the personal information we have gathered about individuals and we have taken steps, including encryption and secure servers, to safeguard the security of personal information in our custody or control. In the unfortunate event that we suffer a loss of personal information, or unauthorized access to or disclosure of personal information, we will notify any affected individuals as required by law.

Aggregated Data

Your identity and personal information are not available in Aggregated Data. We may combine your personal information on an anonymous basis with other information to generate Aggregated Data for internal and commercial use and for sharing with affiliates, subsidiaries and business partners for planning and marketing purposes.
